Serving Crow

For the past few months, they swore President Obama was going to nominate NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly for Department of Homeland Security Secretary, all because of this response President Obama gave in a Univision interview in July:

Adriana Vargas: Mr. President, New York Commissioner Ray Kelly has been floated for the next DHS Secretary. What is your take on it?

PBO: Well, Ray Kelly has obviously done an extraordinary job in New York and the federal government partners a lot with New York. Because obviously our concerns about terrorism oftentimes are focused on big city targets. And I think Ray Kelly is one of the best there is. So he’s been an outstanding leader in New York. We’ve had an outstanding leader in Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security. It’s a tough job. It’s one of the toughest jobs in Washington. She’s done an extraordinary job. We’re sorry to see her go. But you know, we’re going to have a bunch of strong candidates. Mr. Kelly might be very happy where he is. But if he’s not I’d want to know about it. ‘Cause you know, obviously he’d be very well qualified for the job.

…As it turned out, many of those who were most prominently mentioned, including New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, former U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen, and John Pistole, head of the Transportation Security Administration, never even made the White House short list. None of them was interviewed for the job.

The “not happy unless unhappy” fools have never learned ONE THING about governance: the fact a president talks with people does not mean he endorses what they say or who they are. Presidents, if they are at all statesmen, are gracious in hearing others. Listening, even saying nice things about someone, IS NOT ENDORSEMENT OF THEM OR THEIR VIEWS. How many people on Twitter say “RT does not imply agreement”? Same thing.

Don’t make them feel special.
They’re EMOPROGS, not EMONEGROS.

This is why I love this site. These EmoProgs think they’re slick, but POU never forgets… Never.

And not one of those trifling mofos will own up to how wrong they were. Not a one.

Nope. I checked their timelines and NONE of them said anything about PBO nominating Jeh Johnson. Not one word. It’s as if they never made a stink about it!

Really? REALLY??? Did she not see he tweet blaming PBO because Charles Schumer continued to support Ray Kelly for DHS chief??

@PragmaticObot Not sure why I’m on this list. Though I don’t mind being called an Emoprog. I actually said that he wouldn’t appoint Kelly+

rikyrah

not one friggin’ word.
not only this, but they were silent as churchmice during the Government shutdown….
when it was clear that the GOP wouldn’t get SHYT, they didn’t have anything to say..
you could do the same post but switch out 2011 debt ceiling deal for Ray Kelly

Niiiiiiiice!

Got some real Emoprog winners up there. Come January 2017, these folks will go the way of the dodo bird.

Nah, they will claim they supported him all along. You know, like they acted a week before the re-election.
